And as soon as something sparks that inspiration for them, we're complaining about how many kids are back outside? We Spent Years Trying To Get Kids Outside AgainI will never forgive myself for saying this, but it sets up the whole story...

What's more surprising than the irony of wanting kids to be outside, then complaining there are too many kids outside, is the ages of the new olds doing all the complaining. Maybe Kids Being Outside Isn't The ProblemIn the meantime, maybe we can all find an appreciation that Gen Alpha is getting back outside. Let kids be kids?
